Appendix: Power Monitoring Installing PowerMonitor To install PowerMonitor: Extract the contents of the Polarfire_Splash_Kit_Power_Monitor.zip file. In the Polarfire_Splash_Kit_Power_Monitor\Installer folder, double-click the setup.exe file. Follow the instructions displayed in the installation wizard. After successful installation, PowerMonitor appears in the Start menu of the host PC. Click Start, and then click PowerMonitor. - Page 35 Appendix: Power Monitoring The PowerMonitor GUI has the following panes: • CurrentMonitor—This pane displays the current and power measured on the VDD_REG, VDDA_REG, VDDA25, and VDD25_DUT rails. It also displays total device power. The I/Os are excluded. • VoltageMonitor—This pane displays the present voltage on each voltage rail. It also displays the maximum and minimum voltage measured on each voltage rail over the time period of the PowerMonitor application.The Voltage Rail plot in the pane displays the voltage plot of the selected rail as a blue line.
